Beyond the Farm Gate

Building Local Food Systems, Stronger Communities and Supporting Regenerative Farm Enterprises The conversation doesn't end at the farm gate. Building on the ideas explored at The Diversified Farm event, this event will focus on how farmers can connect more directly with consumers, communities and local markets. Through discussion, shared experiences, and on-ground feedback we will explore opportunities in enterprise diversification, food hubs, co-operatives, community-supported agriculture, value-adding and regional food networks. Join the conversation how local food systems can create new opportunities for farmers, increase regional food security and strengthen the connection between producers and the communities they serve.
